GREEN TOUR DATES & LOCATIONS

WHITE ARCHES

122 7th Avenue South

Affectionately called “Columbus Eclectic,” the combined architectural elements of Greek Revival, Gothic and Italianate come together to form a most welcoming style. Beautiful woodwork, mirrored glass doorknobs, a three-story cupola and even original bedroom closets add to its allure.

circa 1857 / Mr. and Mrs. Dick Leike / National Register

ROSEWOOD MANOR AND GARDENS

719 7th Street North

This home boasts a Greek Revival façade with a Federal influence and reigns over four-and-a-half acres of landscaped lawn, including 3,000 boxwoods. Like many homes in Columbus, it was built on a hill, as low places were considered unhealthy. Rosewood Manor was built for a Yankee bride who would not occupy it; she claimed vapors were unhealthy and returned North.

circa 1835 / Mr. and Mrs. Dewitt Hicks / National Register

COLONNADE GARDEN

620 2nd Street South

Colonnade Garden is typical of the 1860s, featuring a boxwood maze, pleasure garden, formal area with fountains, kitchen and herb garden, fruits and berries. Walk through to enjoy the flowers blooming in the footprints of each gardener who lived here in the past.
